Album contains 33 images, many of which bear pencil inscriptions identifying subjects as members of the Peck/Rhoton family of Tennessee. Jacob Peck Rhoton (1838-1884) married Mollie Redding (1846-1918), who is pictured in the album wearing a dark dress and veiled hat, with a riding crop in her right hand ("Sister Mollie / Mrs. Jacob Rhoton"). A sergeant in the Confederate army, Rhoton served in Co. E., 4th Tennessee Cavalry. Portraits of three of the Rhoton children are also present, including Juliet Anna (1869-1937), Frank Luther (1874-1912), and Walter Albert (1871-1945), as well as Maggie Redding, Mollie's sister. Other identified individuals seem to be Jacob's Peck relatives on his mother's (Juliet Nicholson Peck, 1816-1864), side of the family, most notably an uncle, Dr. Isham Talbot Peck (1811-1887), a respected doctor who practiced in Louisiana. A CDV of another uncle, Brigadier General William Raine Peck (1818-1871), a wealthy planter, politician, and commander of the Louisiana Tigers, is now absent, though the labeled sleeve remains.

Condition:
